I saw these pictures at Deadspin and came to a startling realization:

Spoiler!


These are the best jerseys in the NHL.

They're phenomenal design. Clean and distinct without being busy, the colours are symbolically meaningful, the logo is quite clearly a hockey logo without being another roundel, yet they've found a way to include the team name at home/city name on the road that other sports do so well. No stupid Edge-jersey diaper-stripe because teams have failed to realize the actual cut of the jersey has changed (looking at you, Chicago, Detroit, and Dallas).

Unique elements: numbers on shoulders, military-style captain and alternate bars instead of "C" or "A" on the front, the 'earning' of the Panthers/Florida bar when you make the team. The number and nameplate typface is unique, but simple and classic.

Yep, there isn't really any getting away from it: this is the best home/away combo in the league now.
